Pressure Washing
Over time, concrete surfaces stain from everyday use. They collect, dirt, bird droppings, oil, and other liquids. Clean Sweep provides a cleaning service to commercial clients to lift all these residuals and restore concrete to a fresh new look.
We also use our pressure washers for cleaning vertical surfaces in parkades such as walls and pillars, and for cleaning elevated surfaces like walkways and stairwells.
What services we provide:
Storefront entrances
- Outer concourses and plazas
Statues and monuments
Restaurant patios
Vertical surfaces such as walls and pillars
Walkways and stairways
Pressure Washing FAQs
The main difference between pressure washing and power scrubbing is where the water goes. With pressure washing all the dirt, oil and grime that is being lifted out of your parkade floors only has one place to go – down the drain. You’re simply moving the problem from one area of your building to another.
With power scrubbing, the water is sucked up into the reservoir on the machine and doesn’t end up down the drain. You hire us to remove the grime, not just move it. However, there are some parkades that a power scrub isn’t possible and a pressure wash is the only way to get at the grime. We also do pressure washing of vertical surfaces that the power scrubber can’t get to.
Cleaning time depends on a few factors:
- how much dirt there is
- what condition the surface is in
- how much area needs to be cleaned
- the layout
- traffic/obstacles in the way during cleaning
With that in mind, most cleanings take between 2-5 hours.
The two terms are interchangeable. Don’t be concerned about the term “power” or “pressure”, both indicate water that is pushed through high-pressure hoses by a compressor. We use the term pressure washing so it doesn’t get confused with our power scrubbing service. Power scrubbing uses a ride-on machine (imagine a smaller Zamboni-type machine).
